Creating isochrones with osrm

[psksBrutus]

Hello everyone, would it be possible to invent a plugin for the actual osrm project which generates isochrones on the fly ? Or even better ist there someone who has already implemented this feature in his repo?

Thanks for your answers!

I know that a new system for generating time tables effectively is underway, it seems related?

[DennisOSRM]

It is for generating distance table. Small'ish difference ;-)

certainly not the same, but both involves analyzing large number of destinations.... no?

Only if you use the naive way to implement the stuff. But then it does not scale, nor sufficiently efficient.

right, the distance table calculation is optimized so it's much faster than just performing a huge number of normal queries. perhaps the way it's achieved could inspire an optimized way of calculation isochrones?

Moved to a future release as feature request.

Yes, work is in progress!

There is a new PR https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/pull/2477 that implements this but is blocked by some architecture problems.
